False. According to the rant this offseason, myles Garrett is so far beyond everyone in the overrated category

I think it's undeniable Fournette is. Guice may end up being better. Doesn't have enough PT thus far, but he's looked great when he's been given the ball. Williams isn't as good IMO. He's a great change of pace back for LSU, but he's basically a 2015 version of Spencer Ware to me- - runs hard, blocks well, can get tough yards after contact

I'd still take him, just not over our 3 who see the field.
I don't know. Guice and Fournette are both of course better but I would say he and Darrel Williams are fairly similar. Both big backs with good power and speed. Henry might have a little more straight line speed once he gets going while Williams is more powerfull. I would still take Williams over Henry just due to Williams is just a sophomore and is still improving while Henry has probably about peaked out. I think Henry will be a mid round draft pick and will make an NFL roster.

So you're one of those that thinks this game was a blowout and Oklahoma was playing scrubs in the 2nd half.
Oh I do agree Henry is overrated. His inability to avoid getting tackled at the line on 5 out of 6 plays drives me crazy. He has great ability and he shows it on runs during the game. He just has way to many runs for loss or one yard.

He is more powerfull than Ware and faster as well. It could be said he is a better version of spencer ware. I would say Derrick Henry is better than Spencer Ware as well while being somewhat similar.

Oh I always love a thread where lsu fans come out and try to show us their unbiased talent evaluation skills.
Surprised you guys haven't come up with a cute nickname for Guice yet.

Derrick Henry >>>>>> any RB on Ole Miss's roster
Posted on 10/12/15 at 10:06 am to Grovewater
Well, how did Henry have 123 yds against what is arguable the best defensive line in the country (I'm talking about Ole Miss)?
I mean, all summer we were told just how great Ole Miss' defense was yet he had an 5.5 ypc average. How'd that happen?
I realize there are better backs out there but he does a pretty good job in the system we run.

Um... No. As an LSU fan, I recognize Guice is an exciting player. I don't think you can call him an every down back yet as a true freshman. He has shined when given his shots and had a breakout game Saturday. Henry more so than any other player remaining on LSU's schedule scares me the most.

6.2 YPC career says frick you. 6.7 YPP. Better than any RB that's ever played for WAOM.

You obviously did not watch Bama's front seven. They are #1 against the run! Their probably won't be any 100+ yard gains against the best front against the run possibly in America. They are the TRUTH!

Henry is pretty bad. Definitely the worst RB starter for Bama in the last 15 years. Saban needs to play Scarborough. He is a quicker more explosive version of Henry. Since he is medically cleared he needs to see at least 10 touches a game.
Henry might have been good under some previous Bama offensive lines that consistently got good push and didn't allow penetration like this one. Under this current offensive line Kiffin has to throw it because Henry gets hit in the backfield or at the line on half of his runs. Then Bama is behind the chains on 2nd and 3rd down. Drake and Scarborough should carry the load for Bama.

He isn't better than Fournette or Chubb but he is averaging well over 6 ypc in his career.
